IBOA View is a unix/linux shell wrapper useful to developers and administrators on unix/linux systems. IBOA View is created by Darrin Meek in the mid 1990s and has been used by numerous companies and persons to increase performance, reduce cycle times, and improve productivity in unix/linux environments. If you are a developer or an administrator on a unix/linux based system, IBOA View is for you. IBOA View Lite is included here. Simply cut and paste this version of IBOA View into the bottom of your .bashrc (or equivalent) file. Use the 'aa' (add alias) command to tailor your environment to your project and your needs. Happy Aliasing!

A couple of caveats:

1. Technically, aliases should be defined with single quotes instead of double quotes. We use double quote delimiters during alias definition because we feel they are easier to read and we prefer variable expansion during alias definition.. We 'escape' (via backslash (\) ) from the behavior of special characters such as $, ", etc. when necessary. Single quote delimiters are suggested instead of double quote delimiters for less experienced developers and administrators.

2. This is a small set of starter aliases. See link at bottom of this web page for suggested additions to these aliases.

The web site below is nearly identical in concept to Iboa View. In fact, our favorite alias ('aa') is included albeit with a less beneficial definition in our view ('alias' which overrides the unix command so we advise against)... Also, a variant of our 'lr' alias is included at 'lt' in the link here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/bash-aliases-mac-centos-linux-unix.html
